My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2470458779">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
for the first time in my 35 years read the shining just a short 3 weeks ago, soon after watched the movie (which was nothing compared to the book, I actually hated every aspect of it), now I've read some of stephen king's novels, under the dome, salem's lot, but the Shining was brilliant and masterfully written. I read a few others when I finished the shining by other authors and then one day I picked up doctor sleep as it had caught my eye after each trip to the library. I will say it did take me the first 70 pages to really get into it, those were the longest pages of the book, but once it caught me it had me. The book never stopped pulling me in, and just when I was nearing the end and thought there could not be anymore surprises that I wouldn't see coming, it surprised me..a few more times. I grew to love Dan and became almost as proud of him as if he really existed, and loved Abra, and Billy, and Dr John, you just fall in love with the characters and despise the ones, truly despise the ones coming after the ones you love. Already having my next few books lined out, I decided to abandon that and start reading down stephen king's list of novels rated from best to worst (which his worst is still pretty great). I cannot wait to read more of his work.

Today, I shall struggle, and struggle I do so well

I'm struggling today, with the concept of...everything. A lot over my lifetime I have felt empty and I'm trying to find what is suppose to fill that void. I've tried food, running and boxing, kids, family, addictions, extreme spending habits in hobbies and other things. I want to be a good person because that's what I am, I don't feel a person should have to be negotiated with and bought with a reward/prize for them to live by the rules of being a good person. Now hear me out. Those rules are just common sense. Don't murder, well no shit. Don't take property that doesn't belong to you, also common sense that's why it's in every single religion no matter the variation, it's just obvious. I was reading that beliefs and religion are 90% of the time tradition, being trained, and environment, how you were raised. Some were forced to go to church from a young age and still continue to go as we get older, I do not fall into that category. I

For me, a diet wasn't enough to keep me on target, it wasn't enough for me to change to make the changes necessary to stay on track. For me, I needed a lifestyle change, I needed something I believed in, it had to be more than just losing weight I needed something to rid my life of toxins. This had been something I had been working towards for a year, slow intracit moves, directed towards results, and end goal, a destination. For me, honestly, it all started with my hair. My first step was going no poo or curly girl, realizing what those ingredients masked in the form of beautiful scents and shine were chemicals that hid their harm. To read and realize what I had been doing to my hair since birth almost was gut wrenching. That is when u began a search for peace, seeking harmony with my soul and mind. Next was yoga, this was a form of me being able to let go of so much negative energy and toxins that had weighed my soul down for far too long and I desperately needed them gone.

The Couple Next Door, I am extremely excited to read this book, it is currently waiting at the library for me to pick up tomorrow and I hope to be done with a stranger in my house by then The Widow Fiona Barton The Child Fiona Barton Blood Sisters two posts back I gave a list of my to be read books, these 4 were on it and did not disappoint, the others I gave a few pages and couldn't get into it or just ended up not enjoying the summary and didn't try it out. As you can see from my previous post, a stranger in the house was a 5 star read for me, so I went on to the Couple Next Door and once again I loved it, the Unwanted Guest by far my favorite of this authors 3 books, and I really really liked all 3 but unwanted guest just reeled me in and dealt the punches. Now, I will say, the ending was a bit of a let down just didn't have the punches the rest of the book had by still a great read. I went on to read The Haunting of Hill House after starting the netflix s
